Preserving Wedding Florals

May 3, 2014

As a Bride, one of the favorite keepsakes from a wedding is our wedding bouquets. I know when I got married, I contemplated having them dried, drying them myself (which I did unsuccessfully) or just throwing them away. If I had know about Keepsake Flowers, I would have contacted them to help preserve this special reminder of my special day. I had no idea that flowers could be preserved so beautifully until Miko presented me with a gift of preserved flowers that I had used for centerpieces for an event. She asked me if she could take some of the roses with her, and a month later presented me with the most beautiful arrangement that she had treated. To my surprise, the flowers still look completely fresh, so much so that I kept trying to smell the flowers! The other remarkable thing is that they are soft to the touch, not crispy or in danger of breaking. Keepsake Flowers uses an innovative technique which Miko learned in Japan for flower preservation. The flowers keep their fresh look, softness and vivid colorfor years to come with proper care. They are not freeze dried and are treated with a natural, harmless preservative. Miko also teaches classes on The Art of Everlasting Floral Arrangements and Floral Presevation. For further information, go to www.preservesbeauty.com or call 760-323-6074.
